This exhibition brings together over fifty of the artistโs most significant and iconic prints, including rare and never-before-exhibited monoprints, etchings, and linoprints from Djumbunji Fine Art Press and private collections.
Curated by Dr Russell Milledge, this retrospective was developed in close consultation with the Billy Missi Estate, family members and friends, highlighting Missiโs critical role in the emergence of Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait) printmaking as a contemporary art form.
